The UN Statistics Division (UNSD) is organizing the final regional workshop in the project on 'Supporting Developing Countries Measure Progress Towards Achieving a Green Economy,' in cooperation with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). This workshop is co-organized with the national statistical office of Mongolia, and will: summarize and evaluate the activities of the project; provide a forum for the sharing of experiences among the pilot and non-pilot countries of the project; and discuss ways to apply the knowledge gained in producing statistics and indicators in the domains of environment, energy, agriculture and industry to the proposed indicators for measuring the targets for key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The workshop will also discuss how the work carried out in this project will be linked to future activities by UNSD and partnering agencies, including the measurement of the SDGs. A similar workshop took place in February 2016, for the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in Quito, Ecuador.
